  1. I wonder what reserve this seller placed on this coin.
  2. Rob...would you suppose that Neil will be fully documenting all varieities when he posts the collection to his website?
  3. Remarkable news! Thanks for letting us know, Oli!
  4. Listen to your wife and don't believe everything you read in the press.
  5. Rob...I noticed a posting on another collector website with a link to an article on this very subject. Looks like the coin is going to stay in the UK. Latest News
  6. Perhaps Chris would be able to provide an appraisal of both your coin and your spelling.
  7. Just when I was beginning to think that ebay was a waste of time... Genuine 1933 Penny
  8. I checked his website. The only credit cards he accepts are MasterCard and Visa.
  9. Like Rob, I also had not seen the advertisement, but I noticed the same or a similar advert on page 41 of the latest (February) issue of Coin News. He also has a 1642 triple unite and a gold 1797 Cartwheel penny.
  10. While we're on the subject of copies and forgeries, here's one that has an interesting story behind it. Gold Pistole Forgery
  11. Just in case your buyer does not come through, here's a link to ebay's policy on the subject. Ebay Link
  12. Interesting... I believe that this is one and the same frm that handles collector and dealer insurance for the American Numismatic Association.
  13. Apparently, "The seller ended this listing early because the item was lost or broken."
  14. This may be somewhat off-topic, but I have heard that a similar problem exists in the area of 19th century Maundy and currency issues whereas some Maundy issues are being offered as their rarer currency counterparts.
  15. I've heard similar comments regarding this seller from other reliable sources as well.
  16. Accurately graded I'm no expert on "grading", but I think you owe Rob an apology.
  17. Did anyone attend the London Coin Fair today?
  18. I actually tuned in on time -- but only because I wasn't certain of the time difference between here and the UK. Chris -- in addition to the call-ins -- have you ever thought of interviewing other dealers and/or collectors on the show?
  19. Usually I just forward them to spoof@ebay.com (or spoof@paypal.com).
  20. Wybrit -- I don't recall any customs duty being charged in the other direction (UK to US). Do you know if this is just an oversight or is US customs supposed to charge a duty?
  21. What is haggis?
  22. No bids yet, but someone may get stuck with it. The description of the auction states ALL ITEMS ARE SOLD "AS IS".
  23. Are Chavs unique to the UK?
  24. All of the coins being offered by this seller appear to be unnaturually lustrous. On the farthings he is selling he notes that "These coins are offered to you in 'Very Fine' Condition and still retain their original lustre". Perhaps he works for one of the US grading services?
